Friday Fun!

I'm still sick, and I'll spare you the gory details, but it's icky. It's hard to think when your skull is two sizes too small for the ever-increasing quantities of snot. Okay, really, I'll spare you the gory details.

As a result of my muddle-headedness, I'm going to take a break from my normal enlightening, thought-provoking, soul-searching, epiphanizing (I don't know if that's a word, but if not, it should be), captivating writing, and instead post about some things I like. Enjoy.

First of all, I came across this video today, and I don't quite remember which sequence of links got me there. Anyway, it's a toddler girl in trouble. While my girlie isn't quite communicating that well, yet, I can totally see her in this same situation. Especially when the Dad asks if she thinks it's funny, and she nods...

Second, have you seen this? It's a thing of beauty, my friends, the kind of thing that housewives and SAHMs dream about. Makes me wish, even though I know we can't afford it, that our Old Faithful would kick the bucket. No diamonds or furs for me, please - a high-efficiency, water-conserving, chip-resistant, front-loading wonder is the way to my heart!

And third, Ranch dressing. I'll spare you and not have a link for this one. This only comes up because the only thing we have in the house for dinner is frozen pizza, and we're out of Ranch dressing. Prior to college, I would've thought that was no big deal, but in post-Harding years, it's a tragedy. Pizza must be served with Ranch dressing - it's an unwritten rule.

Fourth, Scrabulous. I use the Facebook application of Scrabulous to play online Scrabble with friends from around the world. The great thing about it is that you don't have to be online at the same time; games can stretch over the course of several days. Also - if you're not on Facebook, you should check it out. I've reconnected with so many friends from college and even high school of whom I had completely lost track.

And now, dear readers, I must away, to preheat the oven for the Ranch-dressing-free frozen pizza. Yum.
